Norv Turner has been fired by the San Diego Chargers, the team announced Monday. In six seasons as coach, Turner was 59-43 with three AFC West titles but no Super Bowl appearances.

General manager A.J. Smith, who's been with the team since 2001, also will not return.

“I thank A.J. and Norv for the determination and integrity they brought to the Chargers each and every day,” Chargers president Dean Spanos said in the team's statement. “Both Norv and A.J. are consummate NFL professionals, and they understand that in this league, the bottom-line is winning. My only goal is the Super Bowl, and that is why I have decided to move in a new direction with both our head coach and general manager positions."

The Chargers were 7-9 this year, missing out on the playoffs for the third straight season.
